‘Monster’ Kim Min-Jae (28, Munich) returns to face a Premier League team.

Bayern Munich and Aston Villa will meet on Matchday 2 of the 24-25 UEFA Champions League at 4 a.m. ET on March 3. Aston Villa have been strong at home this season, as they were last season, and will be looking to stem the tide of Munich’s goal-scoring explosion, with 17 goals in their last five games. The match, which will also feature the return of Kim Min-jae, who has enjoyed a complete resurgence this season, kicks off at 4am on Thursday, March 3, and will be shown exclusively live on TV channel SPOTV Prime and sports OTT channel SPOTV NOW.

The compatibility between player and manager is crucial: Kim Min-jae, who was the subject of much criticism under Tuchel last season, has fully recovered his ‘iron pillar’ form under Kompany. Unlike last season, Kompany’s Munich plays a tactical system where every player is involved in the defense, with tight spacing between players. The defensive recovery in the midfield has allowed Kim Min-jae and the Upamecano line to concede fewer goals, and Kim, who leads the buildup from the back, has combined with Jozua Kimmich for a 90.9% passing success rate this season. With his confidence restored by adapting to a new system, Kim has made the perfect comeback, but can he continue his monster form against a tough Villa Park opponent?

Aston Villa will be looking to make it two wins in a row at home after a huge win on their return to the Champions League after a 41-year absence.

Their key striker, Watkins, is still in fine form, and they have a solid midfield with Tillemans and Onana, as well as a stable balance in goal with Martinez at the back. 토토사이트 It will be interesting to see what kind of customized tactics Emery has in store for Munich, especially after two consecutive wins over Kompany-led Burnley last season.

Bayern Munich’s form has been through the roof. Unbeaten in nine games in all competitions this season, the Bavarians have enjoyed a spectacular resurgence, scoring nine goals in their first Champions League group game. Mkhitaryan and Pavlovic have shown improvement from last season, while new signing Oliseh has made a huge contribution to the team with his form. Boasting one of the hottest offenses of the season, Munich presses their opponents in tight spaces, covering the gaps thoroughly and providing stability at the back. The combination of Kim Min-jae and Upamecano, who were both underrated last season, have now become a ‘wall of steel’ duo, and have been outstanding defensively. It will be interesting to see if Kompany’s Bayern Munich, who are chasing the big prize, can come away from Villa Park with all three points.

The same day at 1:45am, Hwang In-beom’s Feyenoord travel to Girona. After a strong debut, can Hwang In-beom lead his side to their first Champions League win in Spain?
